In a surprising turn of events, the popular HBO sports documentary series Hard Knocks will feature legendary coach Bill Belichick and the North Carolina football program ahead of the 2025 season. This news was confirmed by Front Office Sports on Friday, revealing that due to NFL Films’ inability to secure an agreement with an NFL team, the crew will instead be filming at Chapel Hill during the offseason.
Hard Knocks, known for its in-depth coverage of NFL training camps, will be focusing on North Carolina as they prepare for the upcoming season. This marks the first time the series will feature a college football program, offering Belichick a unique opportunity to showcase his new team. Interestingly, despite his success with the New England Patriots, Hard Knocks never profiled Belichick’s teams while he was their head coach.
While the documentary series has explored NFL teams for over two decades, the 2025 season will also bring college football to the forefront. Alongside the North Carolina coverage, the SEC and Netflix have announced a series covering 10 different programs that will air later this year. This surge in college football documentaries signals a new era of sports storytelling, with fans eagerly anticipating the behind-the-scenes look at their favorite teams.
Overall, the upcoming season is set to be an exciting time for football fans, as Hard Knocks ventures into new territory with its coverage of North Carolina and other programs gear up for their own documentaries. Stay tuned for more updates as the offseason unfolds.
